AMD first introduced their APU lineup in 2011, starting with the 1st generation Llano in 2011 followed by the 2nd generation APU codenamed Trinity in 2012. AMD’s concept for a chip that combined both the CPU and GPU on a single die began in 2006, after acquiring ATI, a key move in turning that idea into reality. With the APU, AMD would be capable of delivering an exceptional product with an excellent price to performance ratio.

For this review I will be looking at two of AMD’s latest A-10 APU’s, namely the A-10 6700 and the A-10 6800K. AMD's 6700 APU is a locked processor, so when it comes to overclocking you will need to rely on the APU frequency to increase the processor speed. Now the A-10 6800 is a different beast altogether as it is an unlocked processor, making it much easier to overclock and is sure to be a hit with AMD enthusiasts everywhere.
